A G&L Classic Born from Leo Fender's Legacy
Designed by Leo Fender in the post-Fender era, the Legacy condenses the master's experience in comfort, reliability, and timeless tones. It stands as G&L's interpretation of the great "Strat" standard, with lutherie and ergonomic improvements that make it comfortable on stage and in the studio.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Accessible and inspiring, the Legacy suits both
ambitious beginners and
intermediate and expert players seeking an expressive ST. Its Alnico V single-coils shine in
blues,
rock,
funk,
pop, and open up to
modern jazz thanks to their dynamic response and excellent chord clarity.
The Sound
The three Alnico V single-coils deliver a
clear and articulate register with singing mids. The 5-position selector offers iconic combinations, including the "in-between" positions with scooped and percussive tones. The
alder body provides balanced lows and silky highs, while the
maple neck ensures attack and precision. The
Dual-Fulcrum tremolo allows smooth vibratos while maintaining sustain and tuning stability, for textures ranging from subtle shimmer to more pronounced inflections.
